Catch-44

Media RSS (MRSS) is an XML format which extends the RSS format. By using this format, a website can be enabled to provide rich media functionality. This can be used for images, audio and video. This entry discusses enabling Media RSS for images. Video is very easy to implement, but will not be discussed here. By using PicLens in Firefox, the result looks like below. It is very fast, full screen, and has nice facilities to scroll around the images, zoom in and out and other such things. Here I will discuss a simple implementation, and you can scroll below to download a small .NET application to automate this process. If you already have a Media RSS viewing application, then check out an example of the output (Note, copyright links were added after the page was generated). [More]
